Learning Hospitals
Project No 2008-1-AT1-GRU06-000441

“Learning Hospitals” will define which kind of information patients usually have to learn directly in connection with their hospital stay (etc. pre-surgery preparation, physiotherapy, wound treatment etc.) and which other health information could be useful to learn additionally (e.g. risks of drug/alcohol abuse, how to stop smoking; prevention of hearth disease and diabetes risks etc.). It will also define what kind of pedagogic approaches might be most appropriate to increase efficiency of hospital based learning situations (e.g. tutoring, group learning, IT based learning etc.). Special focus will be put on patients with special learning need (e.g. elderly people, patients with migrant background and/or generally low education).
 

Supporting Multicultural Integration and LEarning
Project No 142150-2008-LLP-IT-GRUNDTVIG-GMP

The SMILE project aims at providing support to those that work in adult education, in particular with parents of children in early ages (0 to 6 years old), by guiding them in exercising active citizenship to promote the integration of their children and of the whole family and to foster the use of intercultural education since early ages. The integration of regular immigrants is an important element of the policy that the Union progressively develops and the school system is recognised as a place for integration. In the best part of the EU countries, the intercultural approach is included in the general objectives of the national education curricula. But, only in few countries are intercultural objectives associated also to pre-school education. The target groups are trainers, social workers, tutors, professionals working in services for children and families and managers of social enterprises, as well as parents, both immigrant and from local families..
